Buca BAR, Toronto

Buca Bar, the latest endeavour from King Street Foods (Buca, Jacob's Steak House, The Saint Tavern virtually all under the chef management of one of canada's most talented chefs, Rob Gentile, a master of rustic cuisine and a great hand at bringing together diverse, truly interesting but harmonious flavours) is a terrific experience. The high ceiling room is intimate and noisy, but despite the noise, one can have a conversation and hear what friends are saying. The Italian influenced cuisine is wonderfully rustic and is quite different than the experience at Buca.

Stigghiole: lamb caul and scallion wrapped with intestine and lemon. A great flavoured dish, not for the foodie faint of heart!

Cuore: chianti marinaded beef heart with robiola and cipollini onion, a dish with lots of flavour.

Polipo: baby octopus, perfectly cooked and tender, with potato cream and n'duja sausage that perks up the flavour with some spice.What a triumph of great flavours!! Buca bar is a foodie destination spot!

about the cookbook store

The Cookbook Store opened at the corner of Yonge and Yorkville Ave and had a memorable 31 year run until March 5th, 2014 when the bricks and mortar store closed to make way for a condominium development. We will continue organizing author and chef events from time to time.
